The story deals with rebirth and decay and is centred around a group of teenage misfits who come together to save another and reconnect with the natural environment. The play digs into themes of loss and disconnection. It examines a daughter\u2019s need to individuate from her mother; and her personal exploration and journey to self-empowerment and fulfillment.<\/p>\n<p>Like the ancient Greek theatre, a large chorus narrates and guides the audience throughout, emphasising important lessons along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Cast members include Ava Nunley, Eleanor Lawson, Maddie Tudehope, Billie Palmer, Zara Ibrahim, Allegra Sintras, Sophie Gallagher-Horne, Astrid Hooper, Bianca Rozsa, Susannah Sheumack, Sienna Taylor, Chiara Weaver, Alexandra West, Josephine Robson, Camille McCarthy, Julia Piazza and Gemma Ashton.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>pretty.strange.<\/em><\/strong> is presented in St Peter\u2019s Playhouse.
